Torf "The Rich" De HARCOURT

Born: 928, Normandy, France

Notes: He was a great Norman feudal baron. Probably he was a grandson of one of the viking chiefs of Scandinavia who accompanied Rollo ABT 900 A.D. in the Norse invasion of northern France where they permanently settled and gave to the country its name "Normandy". Torf possessed numerous lordships in Normandy, being Seigneur de Torville, Torcy, Torny, Torly, du Ponteautord, etc. It has been suggested that he was a son of Bernard the Dane, the most powerful of the feudal nobles of Normandy during the reign of Duke William I (b. 927 - d. 943) and Regent during the minority of Duke Richard I (b. 943 - d. 955); but this claim has not been proved.

"Torf, Seigneur De Torville, a great Norman feudal baron, born about A.D. 920, is the earliest historical progenitor of the Newburgh or Newberry family from whom a certain and unbroken male line has been traced. Probably he was a grandson of one of the viking chiefs of Scandinavia who accompanied Rollo about (and some say son-in-law to Rollo) 900 A.D. in the Norse invasion of northern France where they permanently settled and gave to the country its name "Normandy". Torf possessed numerous lordships in Normandy, being Seigneur de Torville, Torcy, Torny, Torly, du Ponteautorf, etc."

-------------------- From http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps04/ps04_179.htm

Turof, son of Torf, inherited from his mother the Pont Audemar estate on the banks of the Risele ten miles from the Seine. There is some doubt as to the identity of his wife {-see ref. under ID2888}.

Alternate spelling: Touroude de PONT-AUDEMER -------------------- Vital Statistics

• Michael Stanhope cites Robert de Torigny (see below) as the source for the parents of Turold (Turulf) and Turchetil being Torf and Ertemberga. FMG only gives Torf, saying Torf's wife is unknown.
• Similarly, de Torigny says that Turchetil was Torf and Ertemberga's son, whereas FMG says that a daughter of Torf married Turchetil but then seems to contradict himself.

Sources and Notes

http://stanhopefamilyhistory.webs.com/

• Turold of Pont-Audemer - according to Robert of Torigny [GND, viii. c. 37], Torf and Ertemberga were the parents of Turold alias Turulf, and Turchetil [see also OV ii. 12]; the latter being Seigneur de Turqueville et de Tanqueraye, who married Anceline de Bertrande, daughter of Ansfrid the Dane and Helloe de Beulac. Ansfrid was another son of [1.1.1.2.2.] Heriolfr Turstain. It is wrongly assumed that this Turchetil was a forefather of the Harcourts; he died childless, passing his estate to his great-nephew [cart. Preaux, fol. 97v; CP xi. Instr., col. 201 a. d., Du Monstier, Neustria Pia, p. 522, 1663]. Turold married Duvelina de Crepon, sister of Gunnor, the wife of [1.1.1.3.1.1.1.] 'Duke' Richard; they were ancestors of the Beaumont family of Pont-Audemer, and, according to Auguste le Prevost, of the Harcourts, with Turold and Duvelina being the parents of both [1.1.1.2.3.1.1.2.] Onfroi de Vieilles [GND vii. 1. 3.], and[1.1.1.2.3.1.2.] Turchetil de Neufmarche [Ordericus, ed. Prevost, vol. i., p. 180; ii. pp. 14, 369, 370; iii. pp. 42, 229].
